Quick RPG Reviews: #iHunt, Mall Zombies and ‘Terps
I buy a lot of RPGs and don’t always get the time to run them, or haven’t found the right group yet. In an effort to read and talk about more RPGs, I’ve decided to start having a look at some RPGs I’ve been reading recently. I wrote these quick reviews originally in January 2020, […]
Fiasco in a Box
A WKD baptism in an old park where an Extreme Skateboarding Christian League used to compete. A man dressed in a gimp suit and night vision goggles, running through suburban streets while angry neighbours shout that it’s the wrong night for that kind of wardrobe… It’s good to be back in the world of Fiasco. […]
Itch.io’s Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is a Treasure Trove of Delights.
Before I go any further, it should be said that Black Lives Matter. This isn’t a topic up for debate, this isn’t an opinion. Fascism is a garbage ideology no matter whether it’s ironically said in a Cards Against Humanity game or genuinely seen online or in real life. George Floyd, Breanna Taylor and so […]
Dishonored: The Roleplaying Game
Dishonored: The Roleplaying Game By Modiphius Entertainment A copy of the Dishonored RPG was provided by Modiphius for this review. Sweet Arfur wandered through the Dass Granary with all the heir of the expert he was pretending to be. “I’m a self-made entrepreneur,” Uriah Dass said. “Of course,” Arfur said, rolling his eyes. “Was there […]
City of Mist Part 3: Expansions and Alternatives
City of Mist: Expansions and Alternatives I’ve written my review of City of Mist both to read and to play. I had to give a quite wary recommendation for this game. The world is really interesting, the art and design are beautiful. The system is quite a mess to read and feels like there are a […]
City of Mist – Part 2 – Actual Play Report
City of Mist Actual Play Report City of Mist, in case you’re reading this separately to my review, is a few things: A superhero noir game set in a world of neon and shadows A mystery where many people are ‘rifts’, reflecting elements from myths and fairytales A bit of a big, unwieldy book which […]
City of Mist Review One – Reading the Book
City of Mist Review One – Reading the Book By Son of Oak Game Studio and Amít Moshe Last May I was given a review copy of City of Mist’s Core Rulebook. It was in the middle of a mini-convention, so I accepted the copy and forgot about it for a week. Then over the […]
AireCon Report
The world’s a very different place from when I attended AireCon a scant few weeks ago and even then it was all starting to go a bit weird. Boris was talking about herd immunity and Trump was declaring everything fake with each passing day he resembles the Shark denying mayor of Amity more and more. […]
ZineQuest 2 Electric Boogaloo
Due to my usual incompetence and general lack of time frames etc I’m a bit late in posting this article from Charlie as such some of these projects may now have funded already and you missed it…. um sorry. Mike ZineQuest 2 Blitz! It’s February and that means it’s time for ZineQuest! What’s ZineQuest? Well, […]
ZineQuest 2 Blitz!
It’s February and that means it’s time for ZineQuest! What’s ZineQuest? Well, that’s a good question. It was started in 2019 by Luke Crane as a way of replicating some of the old style of distribution of roleplaying games and modules in the form of ‘zines. It also ended up a massive success, with a […]
